company then became "American Brass, Kenosha Division."
American Brass was purchased by Anaconda Copper in 1922 but they kept the

name until 1960. In that year, the company name was changed to Anaconda
American Brass. In 1977,Anaconda was itself purchased by Atlantic Richfield and

the Kenosha plant became "Arco Metals,American Brass Co." In 1985, the
company was sold to Buffalo Brass, which returned the name of the Kenosha plant

to "American Brass." And, finally for Kenosha, the Finnish mining company
Outokumpu purchased the company in 1990, as "Outokumpu Copper Kenosha."

Some names may be missing. But Kenosha knew it only as "The Brass."
At its height during WWII, over 3000 people worked at The Brass. Historically,
brass manufacturing was an "anchor company" and drew many other companies
into Kenosha; including the Thomas B. Jeffery Company. For workers it was an

"entry level" for new immigrant groups coming to town, providing a needed
income for ethnic groups newly integrating into the community.
